Thread: Norma vs Lapua brass

I went from Lapua to Nosler/Norma as it was easier to Ackleyise for me. (So softer)

I used to get between 7-10 firings but have changed my powder and load and already it seems to have improved the case life a little. Haven't shot a case enough to bin it yet so have no concrete data but have a couple around 7 firings that still have a tighter pocket than those with my old load. They also only require a slight shoulder bump.

No body die used yet.
Anyone that reloads for an R8 or R93 will know how the weaker primary extraction requires case to be perfect for smooth operation, you do not get away with as much as a turn bolt.

It may not last as long as Lapua but Nosler/Norma brass is just as good to a point imo.
